Methanol/Ethanol (other alcohol) based life-form - aliens?

Purely hypothetical and kind of creative quesiton. My idea is an alien humanoid-like civilization (and basically everything alive on that planet) which uses methanol/ethanol or other alcohol as a solvent (Whichever works best) and could interact and co-exist with humans - like drink our alcohol to serve their biological needs.

How would it work? And how would they look?

Would they drink alcohol just as we drink water?

Is that all even possible? I'm really interested in your ideas.

Thanks.
